Axis Systems Orion CXV

Rich multimedia system boasts best PC WorldBench 98 score for a PIII-600.

  

WHAT'S HOT: The Orion CXV's PC WorldBench 2000 score of 132 makes it one of the fastest Pentium III-600 units we've tested with Windows 98. The system sports an 8X DVD-ROM drive (which played test movies smoothly and clearly) as well as a 4X/4X/24X CD-RW drive for an additional backup option.

WHAT'S NOT: You must remove four screws and take off the entire case to get inside; cables hinder access to the RAM slots and two open bays. The system lacks a printed manual, so the user must rely on the electronic one.

WHAT ELSE: The electronic manual contains lots of information on troubleshooting and setup. Audiophiles will love the Altec Lansing ACS33 speaker set, which delivers crisp sound in concert with the Creative Sound Blaster Live card.

BEST USE: The Orion CXV works well as a stand-alone PC for general business use.
